Leverkusen is the last hope for the Bundesliga in European competition.

*Kicker* and *Bild* each dedicated a column page, hoping that legendary German figures could offer advice to the team from North Rhine-Westphalia.

Bayern's attitude was very positive: Is it that hard to beat Real Madrid?

Schalke 04 also joined in the fun: Our youth team once overturned the Galácticos.

...

Still, many legendary players and coaches gave substantive opinions.

Augenthaler... the Bayern youth team coach Li Kang encountered.

His interview was concise: "Leverkusen should let Li play as a forward. We beat Real Madrid many times back then because the coach moved me from defense to the front line. I do the same thing as a coach!"

Tuchel looked worried: "In open play, there must be a midfielder who can protect Li!"

Guardiola pondered for a long time, rambling: "In the positional phase, Li needs a... Messi!"

Kahn stammered in front of the camera for a long time, finally unable to hold back his laughter: "If the rules allowed, I would move Bayern's entire main lineup to North Rhine-Westphalia to be Li's teammates."

The Kaiser himself appeared at the last moment.

Beckenbauer faced the camera, earnestly: "Leverkusen is the last European hope for the Bundesliga. They bear the glory of German football. Li and I weren't just similar when we were young, we were exactly the same. The Leverkusen coaching staff can call me for advice at any time. There's still time."

....

On the other side, the Iberian Peninsula.

*Marca* and *AS* refused to be outdone.

The camera first focused on Real Madrid legend and national team coach, Del Bosque.

"Losing to Real Madrid is not shameful!"

"Li led an ordinary team through many hardships all the way to the Bernabéu, almost accomplishing a great feat."

"Will winning or losing affect his value? No! The examples of Bale and De Bruyne are even more obvious!"

"The European Cup is Li's stage! He is the last hope of Spanish football, and he bears the mission of reviving Spanish football! To recast... cough cough, this summer window, he will be a midfield prodigy who breaks the transfer record!"

Del Bosque was the super coach who led Real Madrid to defeat Leverkusen and win the championship fourteen years ago.

But he didn't want to answer relevant questions, only hoping that Li Kang would not be injured.

Legendary stars who participated in the 2002 Champions League final were also interviewed one by one.

Guti's expression was very serious: "Be careful of Li's through balls. He will definitely use his heel to send a deadly, surgical pass."

Raúl smiled shyly: "Li's shot is very similar to mine. It's the connection between receiving the ball and shooting."

Figo scratched his head: "I saw Li when he was a kid. His mother made snail bread that was very bad... What are you laughing at? The location was of course the La Masia cafeteria. Maybe I should have taken him to Inter's youth training camp back then!"

"Yes, Inter's Facchetti training base, not Real Madrid's Castilla!"

.....

In the Catalonia region, public opinion is complex.

*Mundo Deportivo* and *Sport* also prepared to emulate the aforementioned media and conduct column reports.

Bartomeu looked livid when facing the camera.

Two pig-teammate media outlets, aren't they just rubbing salt in Barça's wounds?

Considering it was a live broadcast.

He forced a smile:

"Barça has made an offer to Leverkusen, 50 million euros! We want to bring Li back to Camp Nou. He is an important piece of the Dream Team Four dynasty!"

"When he successfully returns to Barça, we will give him the seventh-highest weekly salary in the team, guaranteeing a starting position."

"And his image rights, Barça will only take 70%!"

Barça fans in front of the TV went crazy!

50 million euros, compared to De Bruyne and others, is not much.

But this is bringing back a child from our own youth academy, so the price is almost right. Leverkusen earned a 50-fold difference and got a Champions League semi-final for nothing.

The seventh-highest salary in the team is even more particular.

The salary after the MSN South American trident, Piqué, Iniesta, and Busquets.

Plus 70% of image rights, not 100%.

Barça respects young players enough, right?

Bartomeu loosened his tie, relieved to hear sporadic applause from the audience.

....

Cruyff's health has been recovering well recently.

He and representatives from several Spanish banks came to a large football school newly donated by the foundation.

Toilet paper reporters have been waiting for a long time.

"Mr. Cruyff, what do you think of Barça throwing out a huge sum of 50 million euros... to bring Li Kang back to Camp Nou?"

"And the seventh-highest salary in the team! 70% image rights!"

Cruyff suddenly felt a little tight in his chest.

"Huge sum? Seventh salary?"

"Don't you read the Premier League toilet paper? Chelsea and Manchester City's offers for Li... have exceeded 150 million euros!"

"Why insult La Masia's number 4 position like this..."

"Regardless of victory or defeat, he will conquer the Bernabéu."

The Holy Johan Cruyff steadied his mind and took out a bottle of pills from his pocket.

Security personnel frantically drove away the toilet paper reporters.

.....

Champions League semi-final is coming!

Countless tourists and fans flocked to the white temple under the moonlight.

Santiago Bernabéu Stadium!

Real Madrid fans wore their team flags, excitedly holding huge posters, patiently standing on both sides of the entrance street... waiting for the arrival of the superstars!

Fireworks soared into the sky, and cannons fired in unison.

Many neutral fans took out their mobile phones to film the eve of this peak showdown.

CCTV5 also sent first-line reporters to the scene!

"Viewers, now we are broadcasting live the 2015/16 Champions League semi-final..."

"The fans here are very enthusiastic!"

"Hey!"

He Wei was bumped away by abnormally excited drunks.

The photographer quickly turned the camera to a group of hot female fans nearby.

Quickly got a warm response from the other party.

"Lee!!!"

"Lee!!!"

"Lee!!!"

Livestream.

Barrages of comments flew across the screen.

-[Not bad, the director will give the photographer extra chicken legs later.]

-[This group of fans is quite smart. When they meet Asian media, they call him Little Lee!]

-[The aesthetics of the East and the West have never been so unified!]

-[Li Kang should marry a Castilla girl, right?]

-[The "superior race" plan of the Little Japanese is a warning!]

....

Barajas Airport.

Li Kang and his teammates walked out of the arrival gate.

No flowers or applause.

He silently swallowed the last green tangerine-flavored sparkling candy.

Security personnel urged everyone to board the bus quickly.

The airport was very experienced and specially arranged a hidden passage to avoid disturbances.

Crazy media reporters and fans only waited for old man Toppmöller and Dino.

Unable to help but feel greatly disappointed!

"Mr. Toppmöller, are you confident in avenging your defeat at the Bernabéu?"

"Fourteen years ago, was Zidane's stunning volley a lifelong regret for you?"

Leverkusen coach flew into a rage, no longer caring about his demeanor:

"Lifelong? I'm not dead yet!"
